The cover
Let's start.
Miu and Keita going to school together and Miu is feeling happy with Keita by her side.
Not only Miu, Keita's classmates were thrilled to have him back.
Miu is the toilet and wondering if she should cook Yaki Saba for dinner when she over heard two girls gossiping. They were talking about Keita and one of the girl says she heard that there are some girls who used to like Keita but gave up after knowing that he will be leaving for America. Now that he's not going to leave for America already, they are planning to confess their feelings to him.
The other girl mentioned that Keita has a girlfriend from the same class. His childhood friend, Miu. However they both think that Miu is like an old lady, all she cares about is what's on sale in the supermarket for the day. There is no need to worry about Miu as she is absolutely no threat.
Miu saw Keita surrounded by girls again along the corridor and is not feeling good about it and she thinks that she should work hard and put in effort to be his girlfriend. An idea strikes her, she asked Keita to go home together after school. It puzzles Keita as they usually goes home together after school. When Miu was about to suggest they drop by some place for a date, Gutsu chan hugged her from behind and she's crying out loud.
She just found out that the areas that will be tested for the end of year maths paper is about 100 pages. Miu has totally forgotten about this. While Keita asked Gutsu chan's boyfriend for the tips for the exam which he had captured on his mobile and we see Keita's phone with the handphone strap which Miu made for him.
At home, Miu is studying however, she can't help thinking about Keita and wonders if she should go over to meet him. She decides not to as she suppose to be studying and she will appear desperate if she does that. She decides to take a breather at the balcony to clear her head and she saw Keita.
She asked if Keita's studying and if it's alright for her to go over. Keita tells her not to ask he's playing DQ and be went back to his room soon after that. Miu is shock to know that she's can't even be compared to DQ!
Miu sits at the balcony and thinks that even though Keita is by her side but he seems to be far away. While Keita, in his room thinks "that was close."
The class is having a celebration as the end of year exam is over and also to celebrate Keita return (?). Miu noticed a bracelet on Gutsu chan. It's a return present for white day from her boyfriend. Gutsu chan ran off (she's up to something) after knowing that Keita did not give Miu her return present for white day.
She calls for everyone's attention and calls Keita up on stage to give a short speech as this celebration is partly for his sake.
After Keita's speech, Gutsu chan finally reveals her real motive, she asked Keita to express his love for Miu! Keita looked at Miu and Miu was blushing terribly.
Keita, expressionless said: "I know you've been wearing woolen pants during winter." and Miu goes ==""". When everyone was is shocked and bombard Miu with questions and comments, Keita grabbed Miu and ran off.
Keita apologizes and said he wanted them to be alone. He asked Miu to stretch out her hand and he gave her the white day's present he made for her. It's a handphone strap too!
He took out the handphone strap which Miu made for him and told her it's also a return present for that. He explained saying that it was difficult making that himself that's why he took sometime to complete it. Miu realised that Keita was actually making this handphone strap for her when he told her that he was playing DQ. Keita blushes and said that he felt really happy when Miu told him the handphone strap she made will be like her, be by Keita's side thus, he decided to make a handphone strap for Miu too with the same meaning behind it.
Miu is touch by Keita's words and Keita is blushing badly that he's eye contact with Miu. Miu thank Keita and thinks that it's still great to have Keita by her side and she's feeling really happy now to be able to see all kinds of expressions on Keita's face.
Keita placed his hand on Miu's face and said: "To continue from my speech just now, i didn't want to said it in front of everyone. I like you." and he kisses Miu!
Miu: "Me too." Miu's thoughts "Regardless of how many years, my heart will still be thumping like i saw him the first time everytime i see Keita. I want to see more of Keita, from now onwards."
Keita: "Why do you wear woolen pants?"
Miu: "Does it matter?"
A night in March when the both of them feels that spring vacation is still faraway.
